Starter Projects in Analysis Workspace | Starter Projects provide useful templates for common use cases. When you open Workspace, you will see a number of Starter Projects in the left rail. They are grouped by the vertical or platform they belong to: Media, Mobile, Retail, and Web. They come pre-populated with different dimensions, segments, metrics, and visualizations, depending on the report suite. You can use these pre-populated templates as they are, or adapt them to your needs. More... |
Other Analysis Workspace enhancements | - Updated the look and feel of the left rail in Segment Builder and Calculated Metric Builder to look like Analysis Workspace.
- Added “Count Repeat Instances” as a project level setting (Project > Project Info & Settings). This setting specifies whether repeat instances are counted in reports. If you have multiple sequential values for the same variable, you can count them either as one or as multiple instances of the variable.
- Added a new button called "Apply to All Panels" next to "Cancel" and "Run" in the Calendar. Changed "Run" to "Apply". If you click the new button, it will not only change the selected date range for the current panel, but also for all other panels within the project.
- Added an “Actions” button on the left navigation rail that features these actions: Tag, Favorite, Approve, Share (new!), Delete (new!).
- Added a filter to the search bar that lets you filter on tags, favorites, approved items, and components.
- Added a preview icon to static rows (not to dynamic rows which list dimension items) that lets you preview segments, metrics, date ranges.
- Updated the YouTube link for Analysis Workspace tutorials to:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2tCx83mn7GuNnQdYGOtlyCu0V5mEZ8sS.
- For visualizations, we added a right-click option called Start Over from the context menu (will work for Flow, Venn, Histogram), which deletes the configuration for the current visualization and opens a new panel where you can re-configure it.
- A new visualization setting called "Legend Visible" lets you hide the filter details text for the Summary Number/Summary Change visualization.
- A new visualization setting for Summary Change visualizations lets you “Show Difference” between 2 percentages. For non-percentage values, if you select the “Show Difference” option, it will show a number.
- Adjusted the number of rows for time dimensions.

Updates to Permission Management | Administrator Access Group membership is no longer required for administrators. By default, administrators now have access to all items (tools, dimensions, and metrics), as well as Web Service access, Report Builder, Activity Map, and Ad Hoc Analysis. Custom Groups Predefined groups are no longer used. All predefined groups have been replaced by custom groups of the same name. Administrators can delete these groups and create their own, as all settings that were previously available in the predefined groups are available for customization. Use groups to grant or restrict access for non-administrative users. For example, you can delete all the migrated groups and replace them with a single group that grants access to Report Builder, Activity Map, Ad-Hoc Analysis, Reports & Analytics Access, Analysis Workspace Access, and so on. See Changes to All Report Access below for more information. Group Permissions The Report Access section in has been streamlined to four categories, which enable you to customize permissions at a granular level. The new permission categories include: - Analytics Tools: Formerly Company Tools, includes General items (billing, logs, etc.), Company Management, Tools, Web Service Access, Report Builder, and Data Connectors integration. Privileges previously obtained from predefined groups are in this category. Existing, predefined groups have been added to this category.
- Report Suite Tools: Includes report suite management, tools and reports, dashboard items, and so on.
- Metrics: Includes traffic, conversion, custom events, solution events, and so on.
- Dimensions:
- eVars 1-250 are individually permissioned.
- All traffic reports are dimensions.
- Video & Mobile reports are dimensions, as well as other Analytics solutions reports (Experience Manager, Media Optimizer, Social, and do on.)
- Pathing reports are available if a user has access to the parent dimension.
